I was wondering when the vMA appliance will be updated to a newer version of SUSE?

I wanted to install Net Pcap to do some network scripting in my perl scripts.

However after doing some searching on the internet it appears that I can only download packages for 11.4 of SUSE. I am running the vMA appliance 5.5 which appears to be running on SUSE 11.2.

Following up to see if I can get a response about this from VMware.

I'm kind of having the same question. Running sudo zypper update on a VMA 5.5 results in a lot of failed package installs. The currently used SUSE version for the latest 5.5 VMA is 11.3. Checking SUSE Linux distributions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ‌ shows that 11.3 was eol 2012-01-16. ....
